How to Make 5-Layer Cream Cheese Chili Dip
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 2-quart (2 L) baking dish, spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the bottom.
- Once the cream cheese is spread, layer the diced green chilies and, if using, the diced jalapeños evenly over the cream cheese.
- For the third layer, spread the chili evenly over the peppers and cream cheese mixture.
- For the fourth layer, evenly distribute the shredded cheese over the chili. Finally, for the fifth layer, top with chopped green onions.
- Once all the layers are assembled, place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the dip cool for about five minutes (or longer, if you prefer it less hot and gooey). Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
